RE: exchange on a DC

Title: Message

Actually it is done more often then not in the places I visit. Of course I visit a lot of 10-50 person shops running SBS or have only two servers. I do not know for sure but would be will to bet that more window2000AD/ exchange 2000 setup are running on the same box then not. I run AD on its own box and most people think see that as extravagant.

Sure it's "OK", it's not standard practice, but it's OK.  I don't always follow MS's directions either.  If it works in your environment, then cool. 

 

Personally, from the sounds of it, you have a multitude of servers at each site.  That said, I would have to wonder why you'd put exchange on a DC.  If I've got hardware to work with, I much prefer to put application servers on stand-alone servers.  Saves the resources for the applications instead.

But, you dont see an actual problem?

I know MS says to run them seperate, and I think that is only so you can say.. Im rebooting Exchange, and AD isnt affected..

but you have multiple DCs at each site, 1 being the mail server, you should be ok...right?

It wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd do it if I "had" to.

Anyone here see any problems with running Exchange 5.5 on an Active Directory Domain controller?

Ive been running 10 of them like that for a year with ZERO problems. I have a new guy who is complaining about us doing that.
